Study in Canada
Canada offers strong PGWP routes after eligible DLIs. Bangladeshi students choose between SDS (where eligible with upfront GIC + tuition) or the general study permit stream.
speed At a glance
- Study visa / permit
- Study permit (temporary resident visa / eTA may bundle depending on passport).
- Where Bangladeshi applicants usually apply
- Online via IRCC portal is common; biometrics at VFS Global (Dhaka). Paper routes exist for edge cases.
- English tests (typical)
- IELTS Academic (SDS typically expects minimum bands); some DLIs accept PTE — SDS list must be respected if using that stream.
Universities & typical requirements (Bangladeshi students)
Examples of destinations Bangladeshi students frequently pursue:
| Example institutions | What we typically check with you |
|---|---|
| University of Toronto / UBC / Waterloo (research) | Highly competitive; early deadlines; strong maths/engineering demand. |
| College diploma → university transfer | Two-step pathway with PGWP careful planning — choose eligible DLI programmes. |
| Regional universities & colleges | Often lower tuition; still qualify for PGWP if criteria met. |
Offers and English bands vary by course level (foundation, undergraduate, postgraduate). We map your HSC/A-Level/O-Level transcripts and any gap years to each institution's published Bangladesh guidelines.
